Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron announced

Ubuntu Community Manager Jono Bacon announced the Hardy Heron edition of the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu. This version would arrive in April next year and hence named Ubuntu 8.04.

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron would be taking over from Ubuntu 7.10 which is currently scheduled for release in October this year.

Bacon went on to say in the announcement mail:

Not only will the Ubuntu community continue to do what it does best, produce an easy-to-use,
reliable, free software platform, but this release will proudly wear the badge of Long Term Support (LTS) and be supported with security updates for five years on the server and three years on the desktop. We look forward to releasing the Hardy Heron in April 2008.
